Abstract:

The study aimed to analyze the genetic diversity of oil palm germplasm from DNA molecular level for development and utilization of oil palm germplasm from Hainan and Yunnan province. A total number of 201 bands were generated by using 23 ISSR primers for 85 accessions of oil palm germplasm, among which 78.6% of the total bands was polymorphic .The results of cluster analysis based on Nei-Li coefficient revealed that these 85 accessions were divided into different groups according to the locations or sources of oil palm germplasm.
